About me

Professor Dr. Germaine DJUIDJE KENMOE holds master's degrees and a Ph.D. in physics. Her research fields relate to friction and wear processes on the molecular scale (Nanotribology), stochastic processes, renewable energy conversion systems and machine learning. She is a full Professor at the University of Yaoundé 1 in Cameroon and also the 2018 OWSD-Elsevier Foundation awardee of the Sub-Saharan Africa region. Professor Djuidje was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee in 2018-2019. She has trained several master's graduates and six Ph.D. holder, currently supervising several master's and Ph.D. She has published over several articles in prestigious journals and serves as a reviewer and editor for scientific publications. The high quality of her research results through the quality of published journals shows her striving to achieve research excellence.
Germaine helps facilitate the development and implementation of young girls in the physics research career. Also, she shows good female leadership skills and as such, is a perfect role model for modern women who are also wives, mothers and have good potential in a scientific research career. Her particular challenge being to bring more women in physics and mentoring youths. Prof. DJUIDJE is interested in companies who promote international exchange, social justice, women's rights and above all, women's education.
